You have almost a year. Sometimes the lisps will grow out, sometimes they don't. Sometimes the school will take a child due to it and put them in a speach class. My son wasn't in speach in Preschool but in Kindergarten they put him in for his "V" sound. If your worried talk to her pedi and see if they think she is on track or not. My daughter will be 4 in May and not many outsiders can understand her, unless they have kids. I'm not worried at all!

You don't think she is ready for preschool? It's not like a pass or fail type of thing, that is what will prepare her for Kindergarten if you cannot do so yourself. If you can and don't want to send her then don't. My kids never went to preschool.

She'll be fine and most likely your school will have a speach therapist on staff that can get an early start helping her.

Are you sure your school will take her? DD's bday is the end of Sept and I thought for sure she'd be able to attend the year she turned 4 but the rule here is they are 4 before the first day of school or they wait till next year

I hope you're talking about preschool and not kindergarten. Have you thought about having her evaluated by Early intervention to see if she needs speech therapy? My middle child started speech therapy right after she turned 2, and continued with it until just after she turned 4.

She will go to speech therapy while at school. My husband had a lisp when he was young and thats what happened with him. He is really smart but hardly anyone could understand him lol. My oldest is Autistic and goes to speech therapy. Is she in speech therapy now? You should really look in to it.
